English Lesson Plan 10 - Unit 12: Music - Reading: Tchaikovsky

May 7, 1840 was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composer of the nineteenth century: Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The son of a mining inspector, Tchaikovsky studied music as a child and later studied composing at the St. Peterburg Conservatory. His greatest period of productivity occurred between 1876 and 1890, during which time he enjoyed the patronage of Madame Von Meck, a woman he never met, who gave him a living stipend of about $ 1,000,000 a year. Madame Von Meck later terminated her friendship with him, as well as his living allowance when she herself was facing financial troubles. It was during the time of Madame Von Meck's patronage, however, that Tchaikovsky created the music for which he became most famous, including the music for the ballets of Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty. Tchaikovsky's music, well known for its rich melodic sometimes melancholy passages, was one of the first that brought dramatic music for dance. Before this, little attention had been given to the music behind the dance. Tchaikovsky died on November 6, 1893, ostensibly of cholera, though there are now some scholars who argue that he committed suicide.

For centuries, people have been playing kicking games with a ball. The game of soccer developed from some of these early games. The English probably gave soccer its name and its rules. In European countries, soccer is called football. Some people belive that the name "soccer" came from the high socks that the players wear.

Organized soccer games began in 1863. In soccer, two teams of eleven players try to kick or head the ball into the goal of other team. The goalkeeper, who tries to keep the ball out of the goal, is the only player on the field who can touch the ball with his or her hands. The others must use the feet, heads, and bodies to control the ball.

Every four years, soccer teams around the world compete for the World Cup. The World Cup competition started in 1930. Brazil is the home of many great soccer players, including the most famous football player of all time, Pele.
